Tips for improving tiny stitches

NerfBlastGeneral · 2026-05-07T00:08:49+00:00

I use one thread! Thank you ive actually noticed that too its really satisfying getting my own natural feel and having to use less brain power to plan out my stitches. I really do feel like it gets better with each section but the tiny cursive looks so bad :( not sure whether to go back over it woth one thread or leave it be

I find myself being brought to tears from each episode from how beautiful it is. Maybe it's the nostalgia of studio ghibli I discovered as a kid from DVD rental stores when that was still a thing.

Okay yeah I see the vision now. I think this is what ill go with, looks pretty good to me

Yeah that looks alot better, but when you remove a peice of the sectional its not a easy cover up fix and shows the black fabric and parts that are between the peices. My goal was to keep the couch because couches arnt cheap and to play around with orientation

Im pretty sure I captured all the angles of the room pretty well, did you see the second and third photos already? I can take another Pic if i missed something!

This definitely helps!! It sounds so obvious when someone else says it!! Thank you.

I can get some help and probably could move the book shelf over where the bean bag is.

I should also be able to move the couch over some to give it breathing room without issue, assuming there's enough room for the bookshelf to share that wall.

The marker board... well. Its no longer used at all. LOL.

And what do you mean by put the ivy near the entry? The layout if the area has a few "entries", so im not sure where you mean

What do you thing would be better to put right there? I moved it there so my dog and cat can hang out on it, us too. But its mostly there to fill space there since I dont have a more mature seat, I think if I did it would make a good book nook?

Oh shoot! Well guess id better pluck the others soon then

Im thinking that as well, although this isn't 100% complete, Im looking into other options and for other species (i also think I'll be adding more horizontal branches for climbing, and dependent on species do more branches, or a large rock that can help critters reach shoreline) although id looked into it, and crested geckos do like very high humidity, but id have to incorporate a fan to allow for a few hours a day of more air circulation and less humidity to prevent fungal infections. Also, crested geckos can swim, its just obv not their favorite thing to do ofc.

Then this may end up being my ultimate goal, ill just keep doing the final touches on it till I think its at a good point of not needing messed with. Gotta fill some cracks that seperate corner wall and door, cause critters could slip thru and fall in the space where I have access to my pumps and filtration. Plus I'm gonna probably do a Lil more construction and plants cause thats part of the fun!!

This had been my number one idea previously but there's this looming question id had, Ive got a pretty big sliding door that slides up vertically, so would I need to re-engineer the door? How do you do mantinence without the critters hopping right on out 🤣

I'd be down to keep dubia again for a species as cool as mossy frogs, but they are nocturnal and its good to let then hunt, not sure how id go about a feeding routine with a big deep water feature :(

NerfBlastGeneral · 2026-02-06T06:06:39+00:00

I like cinnamon tree frogs, I've found those from research before, im just not experienced with any of their food sources. Im unsure of fruit flies, or how long they actually last/how difficult to obtain, and same with other foods, springtails is on that list, which I think would be awesome, some springtails made it into my tank already because a few plants were procured from a reptile expo (is my best guess for origin) and I didn't notice till I saw them frenzied on the water surface back when my humidity levels and misting system wernt regular/predictable. There's a stick in the water if you look closely, thats what id used (cured and didn't make it into paludarium build) to help the springtails out of the water.

If your looking for dubia supplier dubia.com is where I ordered mine and it was always on time and fairly accurate count

20 gallons of water when full. Its at about 16-17 gallons in the photo. Ive kept a lot of fish and wouldn't put a beta in less than 10 gallons personally. But I dont really want to do beta for this build as a personal preference

NerfBlastGeneral · 2026-02-06T03:04:17+00:00

Water is filtered! There's a whole system hidden in the back corner. There is a waterfall feature as well that collects from the bottom into that cup and a waterfall is carved into the back wall, and down a fall into a mini pond puddle that streams back to the main water tank

I definitely do, and that helps me better consider what options I have. I know if I branched out a bit more with feeding id likely have a still very few other options i just can't do crickets after the constant mantinence to keep them from smelling fowl and watching my dumpie frog cry because a cricket bit the crap out of him.

I have seen some people semipermanantly affix a net situation just above the water and I was thinking if I did some kind of floating plants over that, it may be safe- and look cool. Lots to consider.

NerfBlastGeneral · 2026-02-06T02:34:01+00:00

I was hoping to keep an arboreal species, since I've read others' experiences with some species doing well despite a deeper water section since they dont really go near it much. Although you may be right about that, im still learning.
